The answer was repeating my example when I asked for one of your own. It felt like you didn't really care what my question was. Is there nothing that causes you to feel like you are compromising your morals?

The example you gave with having to make friends to get a good grade, I'm unsure how that relates to compromising your morals. Is that an experience you personally went through? What was that like for you?

I will repeat and rephase the answer which you may have misunderstood:

Circumstances, like someone preventing one's self from being assaulted every day by racists or racial supremacists, seems like a pretty clear cut example of someone who has less privilege.

I'm sorry you have to go through that. That sounds terrible to have to experience. If I may ask, how has that compromised your morals?
You'll have to ask the other people that you initially responded to many posts up about the exact details of the tradeoffs that they made or if they were even referencing themselves, or even if they had any specific situation in mind.

Maybe those other people were talking about a friend? Maybe they were just talking about things in general and had no specific situation in mind.

I was just giving some possible situations or hypotheticals that would justify their arguments that they made.

But I am glad you were able to basically agree with me here that their arguments were justified in certain circumstances.
